Ingredients
- 300 g Spaghettini
- 2 tbsp Unsalted butter
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.25 cup Whiskey
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 tsp Crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the spaghettini according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta cooking water, then drain and set aside.
Step 2
In a large skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat until the butter is melted and bubbling.
Step 3
Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1–2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to let it brown.
Step 4
Lower the heat slightly and carefully pour in the whiskey. Allow it to simmer for 1–2 minutes, letting the alcohol cook off.
Step 5
Stir in the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Let it cook for 4–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce begins to thicken slightly.
Step 6
Add the grated Parmesan cheese, crushed red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Stir until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy.
Step 7
Add the cooked spaghettini to the skillet and toss to coat the pasta in the sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of the reserved pasta cooking water to loosen it and help it cling to the pasta.
Step 8
Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt or pepper as needed.
Step 9
Transfer the pasta to serving plates or bowls. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, and extra Parmesan cheese on top.
Step 10
Serve immediately and enjoy this creamy, whiskey-infused delight!
